Our QPR clinic is currently limited to adults with chronic non-cancer pain. Priority access is being given to patients in Dr Nahas’s interventional pain clinic. While results are usually noticeable within the first month, you should expect to commit to participating in the QPR clinic for a minimum of 3 months, in order to learn to use the technique on your own with confidence . The QPR clinic can be combined with any other treatment program.
What is the Quick Pain Release Clinic?
The Quick Pain Release (QPR) clinic is a new clinical service we are launching at the Seekers Centre to help our patients in pain learn to better take care of themselves.
The clinic was designed to be fast and convenient, and to encourage patients to use it as often as they need in order to learn the Seekers Method.. The QPR clinic combines myofascial release with auricular (ear) acupressure to target nerves that are linked to pain generators in the nervous system.
How Does it work?
The technique you will learn involves finding points that ‘feel different’ to the touch, and connecting two points in a line that you will gently stretch throughout the day. You will learn where the lines of tension are in your body, and this will help you target your stretching and exercise for long-term benefit. This is a unique personalized form of myofascial release.
Functional MRI imaging has confirmed that there is a link between specific ear points and corresponding points in the thalamus and brainstem. Acupressure seeds can target these specific pain circuits by stimulating these pathways between the ear and the brain. This makes QPR a safe, non-invasive tool for reducing stress and tension in the mind and body.
Ear acupressure delivers a gentle stimulus, using small, round seeds that are taped to disturbed ear points. Acupressure seeds are a safe, easy way to manage pain, reduce stiffness and support wellness. We will show you how to use your ear seeds with your stretching exercises to reduce pain and tension in fascia throughout the day, every day.

What makes this program special?
The Seekers Centre is a healing space. Our restorative, relaxing atmosphere and caring professional team make every patient visit a wellness experience. Our team provides a level of support and care that most patients have never experienced before. Our goal is your health and happiness.
- Learn a new skill. Learn how to feel tension in your body, to coordinate breathing and movement with acupressure, and how your blockages may affect tension and stress, biomechanics and movement. Use it for self-care, anywhere, anytime, for the rest of your life.
- Personal development. As you develop greater awareness of the tension in your body, you will learn how these areas are linked, improving your posture, allowing you to move more mindfully, and cultivating a habit of mindfulness that will improve every aspect of your life
- Fast and convenient. Make your wellness as convenient as a coffee break. Our goal is to deliver a very brief treatment, using two ear seeds and a single stretch you can use right away, to deliver results you can feel immediately. You should be in and out in 15 minutes.
- Flat fee. Greater frequency of treatment leads to greater results, so we encourage you to come as often as you like. Our QPR fee is more affordable than paying for treatment one visit at a time from rehabilitation and wellness providers.
- Results – Expect immediate results during each session and expect more progress over time as you learn to use your new skills and tools.
